Lead is a naturally occurring, bluish-grey material.

Sources of lead

Lead is found in:

Paint in homes built before 1978. Chipping, peeling or sanding paint can release lead into the air, household dust and soil.

Dust inside homes. Dust can contain lead, especially in older homes that have lead-based paint. When you open and close windows or doors with lead paint, lead dust is created. Babies and young children often put their hands into their mouths after touching surfaces with dust such as floors.

Some soils. Use of lead in products such as gasoline, paint and pesticides in the past contributes to the amount of lead found in soil. Lead does not break down over time, and is often found in areas close to where it was used in the past. Soil can be a source of lead exposure for children when they play outside.

Drinking water in most North American cities because lead pipes were used in homes built before the 1960s and lead-containing soldering joints were used until the late 1980s. Lead can get into drinking water from valve parts or gaskets, older water service lines and indoor plumbing.

Take off work clothes at work and wash separately from clothes worn at home if you are exposed to lead at work
